Just as a wall of defense, I would install a firewall and anti-virus prior to connecting the computer on the Internet. After some, tedious :laugh:, downloading of some hundred MBs, install all miscellaneous programs. I wouldn't fire up Spybot & activate the TeaTimer before patching, because there will be lots of prompts.
Use a good firewall, reputable AV (mentioned above) and practice safe hex. Safe surfing.
Edit: Also just remember that updates for any software is there for a reason. Patch it.
